They have a terrible series on "Why your (NFL) team sucks." by Ice Cream Jonsey 08/13/2014, 11:33am PDT
It's just clickbait, but I read the one on the Saints each year. They are so lazy over there that they are just recycling the same comments from the audience in the main article.

For instance, one idiot writes:

Our most recent HOF inductee once owed the largest child support back payment amount in state history.


(That's during the section where the fans TURN ON THE TEAM, which is 100% fake or from rival fans. It is just as pathetic as it sounds.)

Wow, our more recent Hall of Fame inductee owed all that money. Willie Roaf did? Really? The guy that went in 2012! Amazing!

Well, no. The dumb fuck is referring to Rickey Jackson, who was inducted in 2009. That's cool, though, it's only been five years, why update your fake comments just yet. They'll be posting that one after Brees gets in.


Another one is just wrong:


The upper deck of the Superdome was entirely empty for the 10 years before Katrina.


Saints sold out every game in its entirety the 10 years before Katrina. Oh well, it was close!

I know it's just clickbait, so who cares.

The other big news over there is that all their sites are getting "rape GIFs" (their words) inlined in the comments. They apparently have completely anonymous accounts available if you want to "submit a tip." People are signing up for the untraceable accounts and then immediately posting porn in the comments.

There's probably 6,000 comments about how horrible this is, but nobody has thought that maybe not letting the anonymous accounts in-line photos yet. It is very, very funny when freelancers, feminists, sportswriters and guys who did the page for their college radio station try to run a web site while being disrespectful to the normal people writing comments.

Oh yeah, Metafilter has a thread about the gifs. You have never seen people pat themselves on the back about their commenting system like they do over there.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
